Supreme Court Commits Rational Act

Yes, today the SCOTUS denied Donofrio v Wells. This was for an emergency stay only. A stay designed to stop the Electoral College from certifying Obama as President. Now, Donofrio may still file a writ for certiorari but good luck with that. What a maroon.

Of course, he's not the only one enlisted in the tin foil hat brigade. There's also P. Berg and Alan Keyes and a host of other sycophants ready with their time-wasting BS petitions. All this birth certificate nonsense is just that---nonsense.

No matter how many fact checkers have shown there's nothing wrong with Obama's BC these freepers would still rather see this:






HA!

Oh yes, and some think it's highly weird that Justice Thomas (the absolute worst SCJ eva) referred this silly thing to the full court for consideration--- it's not. Let's be clear on the process here, Donofrio handed this garbage to Justice Souter and he denied it. Now, the next action was for Donofrio to take it to another Justice---which he did. Weird? No.

Per SUPREME COURT OF THE U.S. - RULES
..Part V. Motions and Applications, Rule 22.4 :

4. A Justice denying an application will note the denial thereon. Thereafter, unless action thereon is restricted by law to the Circuit Justice or is untimely under Rule 30.2, the party making an application, except in the case of an application for an extension of time, may renew it to any other Justice, subject to the provisions of this Rule. Except when the denial is without prejudice, a renewed application is not favored. Renewed application is made by a letter to the Clerk, designating the Justice to whom the application is to be directed, and accompanied by 10 copies of the original application and proof of service as required by Rule 29.

Of course, I don't expect the insanity to stop as long as Obama is President. Meanwhile, the freepers' heads explode as they think up another stupid trick to make them more irrelevant. Alas, they're sinking fast, hoping against hope for a marvelous outcome that will deny Obama the Presidency. So, while they're sinking I'll throw them this






to help them on their way down. Idiots!

Wasilla Project Second Video: Religion in Politics

Here's their second video.This video discusses Palin's social conservative stance and her use of religious affiliation to advance her political career. I take issue with using religion in the political arena. I remember reading how Sarah announced herself as the Christian running for mayor in Wasilla as though her opponent, John Stein, was something other...think Jew because of his last name. He's not, he's a Christian. But things got so ugly that he and his wife were forced to produce their marriage certificate all because his wife had kept her maiden name. Even with that done there were people that said it could've been forged! Sheesh, reminds me of all the nonsense over Barack Obama's birth certificate. The film discusses the issue of abortion that came up in Wasilla due to Sarah's injection of religion in local politics. This is another in their series of well made informational films.

Alaskan Court Has Spoken

The Alaskan Supreme Court made it's ruling today in the Troopergate investigation. In a short 2 page ruling they had this to say to the 6 Appellants :

IT IS ORDERED: The order of the superior court issued on October 2, 2008 granting the Motion to Dismiss is AFFIRMED. An opinion will follow.

Entered at the direction of the full court.

Excellent. Short and swift. This upheld a lower court ruling that stated that McCain and crew couldn't block the investigation and that it is lawful. I get the feeling they don't like those Texas lawyers the McCain team sent in to mess with their political system. Say what you want about Alaska producing the likes of Sarah Palin, but they are proud and independent and not about to take any guff from outsiders.

From the Anchorage Daily News:

The Alaska Supreme Court today rejected an attempt by a group of six Republican legislators to shut down the Legislature's investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin.

The ruling means that Steve Branchflower, the investigator hired by the Legislative Council, will release his report as scheduled on Friday. Branchflower is looking into Palin's dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, and whether she improperly pressured him to fire a state trooper divorced from her sister.

The state Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Texas-based Liberty Legal Institute and Anchorage attorney Kevin Clarkson, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the Alaska Republican state legislators opposed to their colleagues' investigation.

Branchflower's report is due out tomorrow. Maybe that's why the McCain campaign has been flinging so much poo in recent days. I'm sure they're not happy with this development. Tough.

Some of Todd Palin's responses to the subpoena he received have already been released. Basically he's trying to take all the blame for firing the trooper saying Sarah didn't know what he was up to. Well, that's just so much horse puckey because it was Sarah that had him fired, not Todd. Todd has no elected power in the Governor's office. Gee, maybe Sarah shouldn't have been cc'ing Alaska government business to old Todd.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's Friday news dump.
